In Northern Liberties

After years of planning, the first few homes of the massive Stables project rose at the corner of Bodine & George a little over a year ago. After the three modular homes were delivered and assembled, the project sat pretty much untouched for many months, until earlier this year when

Last fall, we told you about plans for a new home at 427 Poplar St., which had been an overgrown lot for several years. At that time, formwork had just appeared and foundations were on the way. When we passed by last week, we realized that the home is finished.

We last checked in on 927-29 N. Orianna St. last summer, when two new units were under construction there. These two homes, with rear-access parking were replacing two old three story structures.
